There is just so much input, all the time, that he can’t control it all enough for it to make sense, or for him to function. The problem for Leeds is processing and synthesis. I think there’s a metaphor for our current age of information glut in there someplace. Leeds absorbs everything he hears, everything he sees. It’s all because of his rather unique way of handling what would otherwise be an out-of-control genius. The question is whether or not he’s insane. It’s a very busy, and well-populated, place. What makes Stephen Leeds so interesting is the way that his mind works. Which, by the way, is marvelous and absolutely fitting.Īlso just a bit of a mind screw, but then, so is the entire life of Stephen Leeds. You really need to read the whole thing to get the point at the end. The Legion series turns out to be one long story, just broken into three parts. But I can do that because I’ve already read the first two. I’m going to concentrate on Lies of the Beholder. So if you are interested in my thoughts on the first two books, check out my reviews of Legion and Skin Deep here at Reading Reality. Upon opening this one, I dove right into Lies of the Beholder. So…when this book popped up on Edelweiss, and it included the final Legion book, Lies of the Beholder, I just had to grab it. I’ve already read (actually had read to me) the first two Legion books, Legion and Skin Deep. This never-been-published novella will complete the series. The collection will include the science fiction novellas Legion and Legion: Skin Deep, published together for the first time, as well as a brand new Stephen Leeds novella, Lies of the Beholder. This fall, Tor Books will publish Brandon Sanderson’s Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds. What he discovers may upend the foundation of three major world religions-and, perhaps, give him a vital clue into the true nature of his aspects. When a company hires him to recover stolen property-a camera that can allegedly take pictures of the past-Stephen finds himself in an adventure crossing oceans and fighting terrorists. Stephen’s brain is getting a little crowded and the aspects have a tendency of taking on lives of their own. He uses them to solve problems… for a price. Wherever he goes, he is joined by a team of imaginary experts to give advice, interpretation, and explanation. However, to contain all of this, his mind creates hallucinatory people-Stephen calls them aspects-to hold and manifest the information. It’s his hallucinations who are mad.Ī genius of unrivaled aptitude, Stephen can learn any new skill, vocation, or art in a matter of hours.
